Fall Drinks

Hello Ai fans!

It's time for pumpkin spice and everything nice, hot apple cider and hot cocoa.

Which one do you prefer?

I'm a cocoa girl myself.

I love Fall weather, colors and all of the activities that go along with it.
I can't wait for to host Thanksgiving.
My card is pretty simple this week, but imagine the joy it

could bring someone when they open their mailbox and find this, 

especially if you tuck a gift card into it.

Très Chic Woodland Critter Fall cards from Art Impressions

 Hello Ai fans!

I have two more cards for the Très Chic challenge.

Last week I created three snow themed cards and this week I decided to go with a fall theme.

I used 5808 – 5pk Snow Globe Shaker Dome to create both of my shaker cards. Although these are difficult to photograph due to the glare, they are so pretty in person.

I used a combination of little diamond dots and tiny die cuts from Art Impressions to sprinkle in my shakers.

I used the self adhesive Watercolor paper to cut my Thankful phrase. It was so easy to color and stick down. No more fussing with glue on delicate die cuts and making a mess.

I love rustic cards, nature and animals. I fell in love with this new set the second I saw it. All Ai products that I used are linked below. Happy Fall everyone! I hope you join in this photo inspiration challenge!

Farm Fresh Stand from Art Impressions

 Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing one of the cards that I made for the current Farm Fresh challenge. This theme has SO MANY possibilities. I may have gone a bit overboard but I was feeling really inspired by the fall weather and all of our local pumpkin farms.

This is also a piece that I created with my fireplace mantle in mind. Last week I shared two easel cards. Today, I have a slimline card.

The sign post has three of my favorite places to visit but we have several more that I didn't have room to mention. Fall is a big deal where I live!

I used too many Art Impressions products to mention, so please see my list of links below to find everything that helped make this cute card.

Art Impressions and Simon Says Stamp 2023 STAMPtember® Exclusive set is HERE!!

Hello everyone and Happy Happy STAMPtember®!

I've been waiting for this day for weeks!

They've finally announced  and shared the amazing new exclusive set from Art Impressions for Simon Says Stamps month long celebration.

This year's set is called SSE23A Apple Cider Set and it's the best set ever!!

This set is a limited time offer and once it sells out it's gone forever. 

I believe I own every STAMPtemper Art Impressions set ever released but this one is for sure my favorite!

I made two shaped cards.  The pumpkin card came about by accident.  I was cutting ovals for Halloween cards to be shared at a later date.  I tossed the ovals onto my table and they resembled a white pumpkin to me.  ...A card is born!

My second card was made using the ancient Sizzix Harvest Bucket.  It was made to coordinate with this set.  It must be 20 years old! (no, I never get rid of anything...lol!)

Her clothes on both cards are partially Copic coloring with Twin Tone accents and paper piecing.

I made one final project.  A birthday tag for a coworker.  We officially start school today. We've been back for two days but the kids arrive today.  I wanted to get her a little treat.  Maple Bourbon Peanuts!

Yum!!

Harvest Together from Art Impressions

 Hello Ai fans!

Did you all see the fun new releases last week at Art Impressions?

They have 3 new holiday clear sets, one for Halloween, one for Thanksgiving and one for Christmas!
They also have a new winter Windows to the World set.

Today I'm sharing the 5507 – Harvest Together Set.

If you love Fall as much as I do then this set is a MUST HAVE!
I love sunflowers so much but because I live in the woods and have a ton of deer I rarely have a sunflower bloom.  

I also love crows on my fall cards.  They bug me in the morning when I'm trying to sleep but they are a very pretty bird.

You can see all of the new releases for Summer 2022 here.
